Political Cartoon: Explaned

This cartoon shows a big boned man with a sachet saying Capitalizim. He is squeezing money out of a man labeled labor. He is standing next to bags of money labeled profits of child labor. The main visual elements are the caption, the fat man, and the guy he is strangling. This cartoon shows how there are greedy capitalists out there who try to squeeze (in this cartoon literally squeeze) every last drop of money out of people even though they have more than enough of everything that they need. I think that the author is trying to show that greedy people will do what ever they can to get money. The author is also making a point that capitalism can make that happen.
Evidence that shows this is that the man's huge amount of money came from child labor and that he is squeezing money out of his helpless workers. The caption definitely shows the point I am trying to make. I think that it would have gotten this authors point across even better if they had shown the fatty is more luxurious clothes or eating something to show how rich and greedy the capitalists on the top of the pyramid can be.

Updated goals

My first goal was to try to get more than the required amount of AR points because I know that I can get more points. I still think that this goal is appropriate for me because I've already read several books and just need to take quizzes on them.

My second goal was to try to take my time doing homework because I tend to get points of for making careless mistakes by rushing. I think I still need to work on this but i still think it is a good goal for me to achieve

Don't Put All of your Eggs in One Basket

Don't put all of your eggs in one basket applied a lot to me in the stock game. One example of this was because I often bought a lot of shares from only one or two different companies. This meant that if that company's stock drops, all of my stock does too instead of only a few shares.  This is very risky because all of your stock could drop very quickly. Something I did during the game that is a good example of this clue/proverb was when I bought 13 shares of silver and 8 shares of rail road near the end of the game. I relied to heavily on silver and it dropped, I lost a lot of money. One way to stop this is by balancing your investments over several companies so that if one drops, all is not lost.
